Beschreibung
Location: North Rhine-Westphalia
Start: ASAP
Duration: Spread over several weeks up to 1–2 months
Workload: 5 to a maximum of 10 consulting days as a total package
Remote share: Approx. 90%–95% or by agreement
Project format: No continuous engagement; selective sessions based on the VP Sales’ needs, including one-on-one sessions, workshops, sparring calls, and coaching
Background of the assignment:
The client contact has recently taken over global responsibility for sales. He lacks practical experience in market entry in the USA and Asia.
The contact is supporting the client through coaching and is looking for an external sparring partner with relevant sales experience in these regions to address this need. The sparring partner will support the VP Sales in developing and validating a viable go-to-market approach for the USA and Asia. The focus is on professional exchange at eye level, not on the sparring partner taking over operational execution
Tasks:
- Exchange on market entry, sales structure, and go-to-market strategy in the US and Asia
- Provide insights into cultural and structural sales particularities in both regions
- Reflect on and further sharpen the VP Sales’ sales strategy based on own practical experience
- Selective support through sessions, workshops, and coaching, with no continuous workload
Requirements:
Must Have:
- Several years of hands-on sales experience in the USA and / or Asia, ideally in both regions
- Experience in a sales leadership role, e.g. as Sales Manager, VP Sales, or in a comparable position
- Ability to act as a peer-level sparring partner to a VP Sales, not as a classic trainer or coach without own operational experience
- Location is generally flexible; candidates based in the USA or Asia are also welcome
- Very good English skills
Nice to Have:
- German language skills are a plus, but not required
